''It is unusual to have a game work on a worldwide basis like this and it certainly is great news to have success with a product on such a scale,'' said Interplay Chairman & CEO, Brian Fargo. ''We had to make a critical decision to spend the extra time to get the game right and delay the release, so it's especially satisfying to see it sell through to this level. The success of Baldur's Gate just adds to the positive momentum that we have enjoyed since the release of Fallout 2 in October.''
